It would seem that snurl.com short URLs are not copy-and-pasteable - well not from a tweet. So if interested here is the message with long URLs (thanks to those that pointed it out to me). ----------------------
Antigua and Barbuda today renames Boggy Peak to Mount Obama http://repeatingislands.com/2009/05/31/boggy-peak-to-become-mount-obama- on-august-4th/ So the OSM map shows it on change day http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=17.0396 Easy comparison target: Google has Boggy Peak (as was) in wrong place http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=13&lat=17.05235&lon=-61.86419&layers=000B00 TFFFFF See also Bolans (spelt wrong), Jennings and Ebenezer well out of place, and the road nr Old Road settlement taking completely fictitious line in a couple of places. And don't get me started on Yahoo maps http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=13&lat=17.08304&lon=-61.80496&layers=0000B0 TFFFFF Use transparency slider and zoom tools for full effect. Check SE of Island which appears to have no roads in it at all and the road detail in the north of the island.
